Has anyone shipped anything from UK to Mauritius. We need to ship a few household items, baby stuff, TV etc (don't need a whole container at this stage as we are not going to send all furniture.)

Thanks

I used Crown Relocation a little over a year ago and they were great.  Here are the contact details for the company and the person I dealt with:

Mark Donnelly
Move Manager / Administration Co-ordinator
Crown Relocations Limited
19 Stonefield Way
South Ruislip
Middlesex
HA4 OBJ
Tel - (+44) 20 8839 8059
Fax - (+44) 20 8839 8099

If you are only sending a few items they may a bit of an overkill, but if you have at least half a container or so give them a call.

That is not true, at least with regards to TVs from the UK.  I bought a TV from the UK and it works just fine in Mauritius.

hi bukoma.
i brought a tv mind it was 8years ago but it did not work on the secam, thinks might have changed by now.
are you useing sat or digital box.
only thing i find bad in mauritius is the internet speed when i first came i was on 128kbs did increase but expensive compared to uk.

I bought a tv about a year ago from the UK and had it shipped down with the rest of my belongings from London.  It works fine for local programming connected to an arial as well as with DSTV.
